I went thru to The Writer Almanac & appreciated reading Richard Wilbur's entire poem. <br /><br />Thinking of it now, this reminds me of a happy child time when I thought I could fly (down the school stairs. Didn't get hurt & I can still feel that idea that I could fly...)<br /><br />Today's PF is my introduction to your site, which I hope to return to, Karen.

Wilbur is one of my all time favorite poets.

He doesn't live so far from where I do in Mass, and used to often give readings I'm afraid I never made time for. Then it occurred to me, this gentleman is old. I am keeping my eyes peeled for readings, hoping I'm not too late.
